Parabolic arc as aim assist

General

Is sense where it cuts off. from point_current to hit.position.

Yes I can decrease

@export var trail_point_density := 0.05 , which will increase points_count.

That makes sense, which would be updated by camera_root.is_aiming.

the target project using currently this logic, which I’m looking if I should keep it or reduce it to only camera length, or collision point.

( it’s from Full Code for Rick O'Shea Released )

func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed(GameConstants.INPUT_SHOOT):
		if not camera_root.is_aiming:
			return
		var target: Vector3
		if ray_cast_3d.is_colliding():
			target = ray_cast_3d.get_collision_point()
			print("Use Collision Point")
		else:
			var camera: Camera3D = ray_cast_3d.get_parent()
			target = camera.global_position + (-camera.global_transform.basis.z * 1000)
			print("Use camera length")
		var bullet: Bullet = bullet_scene.instantiate()
		
		Game.current_level.add_child(bullet)
		bullet.global_transform = muzzle.global_transform
		bullet.look_at(target, Vector3.UP)
		bullet.fire_at(target)

I don’t see how is this related to ballistic arcs. Doing direct raycasts from the camera has no use whatsoever for arcs. To actually determine the hit point you need to do a series of raycasts from every point of the arc to the next point, starting with the first point, up to the moment something is hit.

Another great point, I didn’t think through to actual arrow trajectory.

For now I could just fake it by store Hit.position as target and tween between muzzle and target(hit.position).
